DeCima Lugo likes to make sure her children are independent and can take care of themselves, and one of them proved it last week when she saved Lugo’s life.
Lugo has reared many children, she said. “I have two sons that I gave birth to.”
And she’s adopted six others since then, she said. Right now, she is mother to three great-nieces, Clarise Baween “Ba,” 9; Celeste, 10; and Colette Lugo, 8.
